Creek frontage, architect designed living, superb views and self-sufficient power.
Cross your very own bridge, then savour the undulating 1 km laneway before reaching your private hideaway.
The home was constructed in 2002, and built to maximise sunlight and warmth in winter and cooling shade in summer. It is one of the most thermally efficient homes in Tasmania.
Laid out over 244 square metres (26 building squares approx), the home is presented as a main residence and a guest wing connected by an enclosed sun space. In total four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, a library space and a study. The design allows for privacy, with a flow through open plan feel that creates a real sense of connectedness.
Apart from its stunning location and orientation, a standout feature is the hand-crafted sycamore joinery in the kitchen and through the home, sourced from the property.
As the property is off the grid, you will be self-powered. The monitored photovoltaic system generates more than enough free electricity to run all electrical appliances. The electrics are housed in a purpose built room attached to the house. A Scandia Banquet wood-fired stove is a chef’s delight, and also heats the water. There are many decades of firewood on the property. Rainwater is stored in a 10,000 gallon tank, pumped up to a 5,000 gallon header tank, then gravity fed with exceptional pressure back to the main residence and guest wing.
There is generous storage and shedding. Adjacent to the main residence and guest wing is a colour-matched Colorbond steel shed, 7 x 17 metres approx., with three open bays and two bays enclosed by roller doors. In a front paddock is a matching Colorbond shed with two open bays and one bay enclosed by a roller door.
A kilometre of creek frontage sets the scene as you arrive at the property, cross the private bridge, and wind your way over a quality gravel access road deep into the property to your oasis. Of the 76.48 hectares, 28.70 hectares is under conservation covenant to protect the outstanding natural beauty which includes several limestone caves. The remaining 47.78 hectares is your domestic zone which is well fenced and gated, and offers the opportunity to pursue many agricultural endeavours.
